I wouldn't trust cfMail for that many users. Not too mention the tax on your server. You really should explore third party solutions like majordomo and such. I've never been able to achieve consistent results when working with cfMail in large scale mailings.

I have been testing a simply query that pulls from 3 tables - creates an output that loops and executes the cfmail tag each time - using a ID that is primary so no duplicates are being sent.. It surprisingly doesn't take that long ( although I haven't tested on the full lot) BUT i have heard 1) Cfmail tag not being reliable 2) their must be a more efficient way to code this. So I am looking to this list to find if there is any truth to cfmail dropping results OR if there is other tags ( please hint) that I should really be looking into. Client wants me to manage this through some simple scripts - and would like to send html formated email. We are leaning away from purchasing 3rd party solutions and installing special server software is not possible. thanks! jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
